"...under the authority of her husband..."

You know, I don't have an issue with women being teachers. Our coed Sunday School class is taught by a couple and she is almost as active in the teaching as he is. Teaching a class and preaching, i believe are 2 different things.

Karen, I don't 'see' BaptistBoard.com being a church. I am also not in authority here. There is a difference, in my opinion, in giving one's thoughts and interpretations and being a teacher.

I participate freely in the discussion in our mixed Sunday School class and if the male teacher asks a question that others cannot answer, I will give them the scripture reference or read from my study Bible.

If only the men would study their lesson or read their Bible...

Luke 19:37 Then, as He was now drawing near the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen, 38 saying: "'Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!' Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" 39 And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples." 40 But He answered and said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out."

Jeremiah 20:7 O Lord, You induced me, and I was persuaded; You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I am in derision daily; Everyone mocks me. 8 For when I spoke, I cried out; I shouted, "Violence and plunder!" Because the word of the Lord was made to me A reproach and a derision daily. 9 Then I said, "I will not make mention of Him, Nor speak anymore in His name." But His word was in my heart like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, And I could not. 10 For I heard many mocking: "Fear on every side!" "Report," they say, "and we will report it!" All my acquaintances watched for my stumbling, saying, "Perhaps he can be induced; Then we will prevail against him, And we will take our revenge on him." 11 But the Lord is with me as a mighty, awesome One. Therefore my persecutors will stumble, and will not prevail. They will be greatly ashamed, for they will not prosper. Their everlasting confusion will never be forgotten. 12 But, O Lord of hosts, You who test the righteous, And see the mind and heart, Let me see Your vengeance on them; For I have pleaded my cause before You. 13 Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For He has delivered the life of the poor From the hand of evildoers.

Does this explain how I feel? Hope so!

Karen, one thing is that Paul's instructiosn were for what we do in church. How the church functions, and the order of the church.
